Anambra State Governor,
Willie Obiano, on Wednesday, vowed to deal with anyone who would want to
cause commotion during the governorship election in the state.
Speaking on
Wednesday in Awka, the Anambra state capital, Governor Willie Obiano,
fired a warning to the members of the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) to steer clear of the state during the November 18
poll.
The governor who insisted that there would be election in
the state, and that the pro-Biafra agitators had no powers in the law to
stop the poll, threatened to go after anybody who would pose a threat
to the poll, no matter how highly placed.
He warned those
planning to disrupt the election especially the popular pro-Biafra
group, IPOB, to have a rethink or be ready to face the full weight of
the law.
He said; “We are going to go after them, we will deal with those who said there would be no election in the state decisively.
“People
are free to vote candidates of their choice, you can see that in
Anambra state today people now sleep with their two eyes closed,” he
insisted.
It was reported that IPOB had earlier threatened that
there would be no election in Anambra state and the entire South East
zone.
It was also gathered that the secessionist group had
planned to attack campaign rallies in the state to create fears in the
people about the poll.
